Because he's vile isn't he?

But I can't find anything vile in it. There's picture of a three year old cancer patient in a wonder woman uniform and a message of support from Demi Levato about her skincare range - can't find anything vile though.

So I had a look at his Wikipaedia entry - you only have to glance at that apparently to find out how vile he is.

He did, apparently, make a very ill judged statement that Michael Jackson's overdose was a publicity stunt. And he called Will i am a faggot when angry (is that why Alex called him one I wonder). Oh and he outs closet gays.

So a couple of biggies there - definitely a flawed sad character - but not irredeemable I don't think. I'm gonna let that particular bandwagon go by.

Yes I had a look yesterday too it looked like one of those celeb magazines by the checkouts to me, not my taste but not scum or vile or any of the other words I have seen describing him.

Well that's a pretty big "oh". I find his outing of those gay people who wish to remain private, utterly reprehensible. It's none of his business to do that and goes some way to explain why he is loathed.

It surprises me that people don't think he's vile.

He's outed countless men as gay via his blog. Posted naked pictures of minors. Spread the links to Jennifer Lawrence's iphone hack - despite all other major gossip sites saying we shouldn't look at the photo's as it was a crime - and he slates people daily.

It comes as no surprise to me that when he was in the big brother house that his blog doesn't seem vile.

That's quite a charge - how many minors were involved? How come he was not prosecuted?

edit: Do you have a link? I can't find anything about it on google.

It was just an upskirt shot of Miley Cyrus - on two occasions I believe - when she was 16 (i think). But it showed everything, and there was a big outcry at the time, and he released a huge apology - only to do the same thing a few months later!

I only know Perez from BB. I'm not sure but it seems to ring a bell with me how nasty he was about BB and some housemates. Can anyone confirm this?

...Called Jacksons death a publicity stunt the day after it had occurred... Photoshopped an up skirt picture of an underage miles Cyrus to include a vagina...

...the list goes on and on, it's all available to see with some googling. Apparently the blog as it exists now is a completely different kettle of fish. Perez was called the most hated man in show business, it's one of the reasons he kept saying in the house that he "used to be katie Hopkins"... At some stage he made a public announcement on it where he apologised for everything he had done and stated the blog would no longer continue in that fashion. Now it's just a very normal, standard entertainment outlet.

You won't find much 'vileness' on there now. He publicly apologised some time ago for his previous behaviour and the blog has never been the same since. In fact, it's a pale shadow of other gossip sites like TMZ, Defamer, Gawker, etc.

Of course this doesn't suit the agenda of people who prefer to never forgive the guy or keep perpetuating the idea that he's still a big internet baddie, but hey ho.

Somebody here posted a Q&A Reddit article that Perez did a while back. Random people were asking him questions and some were about some of the questionable things he had done on his blog in the past. He faced up to some difficult ones including the outing which apparently happened on ONE occasion to ONE person, not countless times. Perez acknowledged that it had been a crap thing to do but he wasn't that person any more or WTTE. The same with this issue about nasty things he had said about Brittany Spears. He made no excuses for himself, admitted where he'd gone wrong and was quite humble. This is probably why Brittany Spears is doing some sort of show with him in the near future, she doesn't have a problem with him, but people still bring up what he said about her as a stick to beat him with.
Point is people can redeem themselves IF we let them.

Oh right - yes I did see that - he claimed she was fully clothed apparently.

No defence from me - I hate all that nonsense.

But I did read him say he's been trying to do better in the past four years and has apologised for much of his past. I wonder if he was hoping BB would help him rehabilitate to the public - in the UK he would have needed to have been much more sedate.

OK - I'm still stopping just short of vile and irredeemable - but I can see why that's the judgement from people who've known about him longer.

Most of those biggies were years ago. He apologised, owned it and vowed to change the site, which he did. I think thats quite admirable. You wouldn't see the national enquiror, or any of the tabloids doing that and his site reaches just as many people when you think of worldwide hits.

And the Miley Cyrus thing was not her. if it was he'd be in prison, let's not go OTT.

He stalked Lady GaGa to the extent of buying a flat in the same apartment building.

His behaviour in the house is the reason he didn't win. He's been absolutely awful. I, thankfully, am able to remember what he did three weeks ago.

This whole Miley Cyrus thing I feel really uncomfortable about, so don't think I'm condoning anything when I say the second picture was published to show that she DID have underwear on. Just trying to give a complete picture (as it were) on that episode.

Can I throw in his mocking of Adam Sandler's daughter, as that's not been mentioned yet.

We all have a past, we've all done wrong. Change can happen the moment you choose to change.

Well in that case I think people have to allow him to change I too find it admirable he is trying, sadly he can apologise but people have to chose to accept the apology it isn't a given he will be forgiven. I hope people can find it in their hearts to do so though as generally not forgiving harms the person holding the grudge more than the person they dislike.

ok so its not on if someone invades a celebrities privacy by 'outing' them, but its fine when celebrity magazines print outrageous and blatent lies just to sell copies. The tabloids hack into people private lives and go through there bins etc. The star insuates all kind of stuff just to suck you in. Newsreaders such as Eamonn Holmes and Kirsty Young on tv can bearly contain there glee when some atrocity happens so they can get airtime. Why just pick on one individual as the MOST vile, get some perspective.

Perez used to get lots of spats with celebs and was considered the biggest bully in America and then changed after a teenager killed themselves from bullying (though not because of him) and he became a campaigner of anti-bullying. i think he's repressed his vileness.

Didn't he cry on Day two during the stories task where he said he is a vile bitch.

I can remember one of our best Gay advocates Peter Tatchell back in the 80's outing gay men he seems to have stopped and changed and is admired for his work these days. We need to forgive and encourage people to change not vilify them for things they did years ago.

Where did I say Perez Hilton was "MOST Vile"perhaps you need to get a level of perspective yourself.

I don't buy the trashy supermarket mags of which you speak and moreover, would never condone any salacious garbage they print, mind you most of the zelebs they feature have made a pack with the devil and can't shout & scream when it doesn't go their way. However, two wrongs do not make a right and it still does not negate the disgraceful way Perez Hilton outed people who did not want to be out.

Oh Yowie29, as it is a post regarding PH I felt free to make my contribution and not go off a tangent about Eamonn Holmes and Kirsty Young.. (what's that all about)

Ive enjoyed watching him, he brought some action to the house. As for Gaga, well you just have to look at the name.

You know..all I'm gonna say is I am just glad I am not Perez. The gullibility and ignorance of some of the posters here... He is documented as being one of the worst internet bullies of all time. Ellen even called him out on it. Even now after his "change" which didn't happen by the way, he uses passive aggressivness to belittle people and makes snide comments.

But either way..the guy is a loser. He has no real friends. Anytime he posts pictures of himself on his blog.., it's always with his mother or his kid. You never see him hanging out with a bunch of guys, let alone a boyfriend. He is a desolate man. The whole blog started from a place of rejection. He wa sa failed actor who basically had the attitude of, well if I can't be one of you, I'm gonna take you down. The man is consumed with bitterness.

Also, the gay community is very appearance and looks focused. Perez would be as appealing as a slug in your salad to your average gay guy. He was fat for years, then lost the weight, but still was deeply unnattractive.

It sucks for him I guess...I'm sure some dudes could get over it if he was a nice guy, but he isn't. He want's to be one of the hot dudes that everyone wants but it isn't ever going to happen. His life is one rejection after another.

The only way, such an ugly man can get attention is by being outrageous and offensive..hence his escapades on CBB.

He is a tragic figure.

Tatchell is a paedophile apologist.I suggest you research the man.
